What buildings keep resources from re-spawning?

[Jayshua_Lyn]

What buildings/items will stop things from re-spawning? Have a few areas around out base that random trees/rocks keep coming back. Thought Signs/Campfires worked but they don't seem too anymore?

Foundations for sure

Not in my single player local game .
I see cra p spawning on foundations I have placed complete with towering walls on them (as guide markers) , especially after a patch. Huge boulders plop right on top of them.

Maybe it is just a artifact of patches and we see so many patches.. I don't know.

Patched do seem to have the tendency to Force Spawn resources etc. from time to time.
But Foundations should otherwise be the main way of preventing spawns.

Foundations OR Foundation type/styled items like Pillars, Fence Foundations???

I found this thread but I'm trying the opposite. I'm looking for structures that will not prevent resources from spawning. I keep seeing that foundations prevent resources from spawning so if I use some pillars and roofs to use as a landing pad for a flyer I should be good. I guess it wouldn't hurt to test it out.

i thought it was foundations, fence foundations, and pillars all kept things from spawning.

Foundations works but fence foundation i don't think it will work. After big patch in my local play resources are spawn again..

I am also looking for stuff that won't stop spawning. I build a fishing house next to a small lake with fish in it, and now all the fish won't spawn. We used pillars, so that seems to be what stopped the spawning.

Wooden Fence Foundations work, I use them to make roads through certain areas

All foundation types, Fence foundations and Pillars with ceilings on them despawn resources and cause wild dinos to not spawn.

Pillars without ceilings don't despawn resources or Dinos but block building. (Pillars will block resources within a 1m distance but thats just to them being a obstruction)

sweet, so pillers and fences is a good option to "claim recources" or land and it will still grow trees and dinos?
and foundations is good for stopping recources from spawning. or pillers w/celing on it.

Pillars are a good way to protect resources AND Dinos from despawning so long as you don't place them within 1m of the resource your trying to protect. It's not claming resources as anyone can still access them but its protecting them from the idiot foundation spammers.

When you have a bunch of metal rocks or a Rex/Spino spawn you don't want some idiot despawning with their foundations. Put pillars around them rocks but NOT too close to them. Keep them about 1m away from their edge.

I have tested it and Pillars are the best way to prevent Dinos & resources from getting wiped out.

Fence foundations and dino gates don't seem to keep resources from respawning. Just what i've observed in the game, I don't mind at all though, if I have a spot inside my base that I don't want resources spawning, Its usually somewhere I have buildings, which, keeps them from respawning. Have even had respawns "hide" my fences making people think "oo theres a hole in the fence" heh, gets em' every time. In a large empty area, used for storing dino's, I don't mind making a little 1x1 building, I use it as a feeding shack :)

Can't say if pillars by themselves keep resources from respawning, never just placed one and left it to find out. Pillars with ceilings on them seem to stop them though.

[Wolfman-RIP]

Gates by themselves work too but obviously thats more expensive to do and it can cut off resources from other players. I also think they stop Dinos from spawning too close to them though I'm noy sure as I have a massive gate pen and Monkeys and dinos spawn inside it.

I don't know if it is specific to my server, but when I attempted to build a clear path to the mountain and used fence foundations, it did not stop resources from respawning except for right on top of it. When I used foundations and ramps, it worked fine. Might be specific to my server, but those were the results.
